I am writing on behalf of the Lee’s family in awakening of the tragic Slim River Bus Crash incident. Lee Nian Ning (1987-2008) and 2 other people have passed away from this horrific incident. Nothing we can do to turn back the time but there is one thing we can do which is to prevent such incident from repeating again.

Seriously, we have heard too much of these reckless drivers causing death thoughout the year… dont you think someone should do something?

Please, if you would like to help, just sign this PETITION or you can visit the BusCrashNoMore blog.

so what happened at Tomorrowland?

It’sthe futuristic section of Disneyland and one of the attractions was the Astro Blaster, featuring Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story.

Other than the blaster ride, we can also queue up to take foto with Buzz Lightyear himself!

the hat damn expensive ok. she sure is rich. haha

and after queueing for 30 minutes… i finally get to meet Buzz!

ahahahhaha happy

then we went to the main street.. and we saw chipmunks… but the queue was damn long…

so…

lidis lor. ahahhahaha

and suddenly…. everyone stopped moving.

the whole place was in total silence.

i looked at my mumn asked “whats happening?”

mum said “dono. just wait and see”

i could hear people screaming… at the beginning of the street… but i couldnt figure out wat was happening.

I saw people running away… some towards the scene.

i heard a voice whispering to me “they are coming…”

ok back to HongKong posts.

After wax museum and dinner and all…

we went to the young entrepreneur fair nearby our hotel and he was the host for one of the shows there

anyone who can tell me his name, I will give u a prize. erm… ok i take that back. lol

from there, we went to Sai Yong Choi Kai

the place was at Yau Ma Tei area and we took the train there.

the street was a bit the boring.. so we asked a passerby how to go to Women Street. Apparently… it was nearby and that we can reach there by just walking down Nathan road.

and so we started walking and i took out my N95 to take some night shots… not bad kan the quality?

i snapped this too! BABI LA!

We finally reached the beginning of Women street…

only this part looked good.

and after shopping there for about 2 hours…. we came out from the end of Lui Yan Kai

and this was how it looked like. The real thing.

then it was aout 11+ and people started to leave… so we left also … took the MTR.

Lemme take you to a ride in HongKong MTR.

Watch it!!!!!!!!!! haha

and so… Hongkong day 2 ended.

Life of boatmen

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

After breakfast at McD, we joined the half day tour around the island and one of the destinations was to visit JUMBO Restaurant… the famous restaurant on water.

and so… the story of the boatmen begins.

at first we thought we were here to have a look at the boats…. but we got offered to get on one and tour the whole area to further venture into the lifes of the people there.

Aparrently, this woman here is in charge and she is also the storyteller for this boat tour.

as we got nearer to the boats, we could see the people there cooking, washing clothes, sleeping and basically… just living their lives there….

and it made me realise how lucky I am to be born in the city with all the technologies and entertainment and everything else that I need.

hi mum…!

let me bring you to a tour around the area. Watch the video.

after a while, we reached JUMBO. stopped there for a while for some photo taking and off we went…. back to the jetty.

it was a very good experience as I have never thought that I would come so near to these boatmen before.

I shall end my boat trip with the smashpOp Jump. lol

NEXT!!! We went up and up! Can you guess where we went?

(hows the video? still loading?)

“HAR? REALLY AH? AHHAA OKOK”
